The libfreefare LGPL Exception Text:
Any libfreefare source code, whether modified or in it's original
release form, or whether in whole or in part, can only be distributed by
you under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License plus this
exception. An independent module is a module which is not derived from
or based on the libfreefare.
Clause 1:
Linking the libfreefare statically or dynamically with other modules is
making a combined work based on the libfreefare. Thus, the terms and
conditions of the GNU Lesser General Public License cover the whole
combination.
As a special exception, the copyright holder of the libfreefare gives
you permission to link the libfreefare with independent modules that
communicate with the libfreefare solely through the libfreefare API
interface, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
and to copy and distribute the resulting combined work under terms of
your choice, provided that:
- Every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a written
statement that details to the recipient the version of the
libfreefare used and an offer by yourself to provide the libfreefare
source code (including any modifications you may have made) should
the recipient request it.
- The independent modules add significant and primary functionality to
the libfreefare and do not merely extend the existing functionality
already present in the libfreefare.
